BIRMINGHAM -- Former Lion Dre' Bly isn't quite 85 years old, as safety Louis Delmas seems to suggest, but Delmas said the two-time Pro Bowler could certainly add a missing element to the Lions' challenged secondary.

Bly, who played for Detroit from 2003-07, participated in the Lions player-organized workouts for the second straight day Thursday. Delmas said Bly, who turns 34 on Sunday, remains in tip-top shape, despite missing the entire 2010 season.

"He might be 85 years old, but he can still keep up with us," Delmas said. "Having him join our team would be very complimentary to our secondary."

Bly received an invitation from safety Erik Coleman to this week's minicamp and went through drills alongside Delmas in Thursday's informal workout.

"He's an older cat that knows the game," Delmas said. "Obviously, he's played here before us so he'd be able to get us out of situations that we've never been in before."
